Pope Francis Calls on Humanity to ‘Repent’ for Abuse of Mother Earth
ROME — We humans “must repent and modify our lifestyles” because of our abuse of Mother Earth, Pope Francis states in a message released Thursday.
In his Message for the Celebration of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, the pontiff decries the “mistreatment” of our common home stemming from “our consumerist excesses,” “tyrannical anthropocentrism,” “predatory economic interests,” and “short sighted and selfish actions” leading to “the collapse of our planet’s ecosystems.”
“In the first place, it is our sister, mother earth, who cries out. Prey to our consumerist excesses, she weeps and implores us to put an end to our abuses and to her destruction,” Francis declares in his Message.
Because of human irresponsibility “countless species are dying out and their hymns of praise silenced,” the pope laments, while the ancestral lands of indigenous peoples “are being invaded and devastated on all sides, ‘provoking a cry that rises up to heaven.’”
Because of the “climate crisis,” the poor disproportionately suffer the impact of “the drought, flooding, hurricanes and heat waves that are becoming ever more intense and frequent,” the pope asserts.

Mother Earth? That is idolatry. Repent to God who created the earth.

As I always say, can you let me know if that pope ever talks to people about how to repent and turn to Jesus? He hasn’t done it yet, and that’s the Great Commission!

You’re fired.

Were I Catholic, I would repent for thinking the Holy Spirit could possibly have wanted Cardinal Bergoglio as the Holy Father. Since I have more than enough to repent for in my own life on a continuing basis, I will leave it there.

Pope Francis Calls on Humanity to ‘Repent’ for Abuse of Mother Earth "We, Pope Francis and the Vatican, put earth, not people, those created in God's image, first regardless of how many people die. People are not as important as our false-doctrine agenda."
A sovereign and free America will have something to say about that.
Basically...

Pope Francis isn't the first bad pope and probably won't be the last. God works in mysterious ways. Major reforms often follow the reigns of awful popes. That's how it works.

Hmmmm ... Last time I checked, there was The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost.

Yep. Still those three; no more, no less.
No “mother earth” to be found.
